With 9 multihulls in attendance the 3rd Multihull Central Twilight race, also names the “Christmas Cruise” had some fantastic conditions with winds around 10-15 knots, very warm breeze and blue skies. This broke the fleet up across the harbour until winds dropped to almost nothing for one of the closest finishes yet! The fleet saw some new vessels participate in this ever growing fleet, including a custom designed & built catamaran that has travelled all the way from France. This vessel is now heading south to Tasmania, although we hope to have them join us again for the final race in March. The clear winner, crossing the line a full 15 minutes before the second boat, was Jim Sinclair on board “No Qualms” a Schionning 11.6, this vessel is also leading the series! After the race the fleet headed back to the club house…
The second twilight race of the series was full of excitement with winds of up to 30 knots on the harbour! Although some vessels found the weather a bit too much for racing the smaller fleet headed out to get some great times on the board. New series entrant Seawind 1160 “Centvrion” made the most of the strong breeze taking out second place on handicap but the Outremer 49 “Alidade” had a fantastic win after sorting out previous issues from their first race. Race 3 is on Friday 20 December and is set to be another great event with the Multihull Central Marina Christmas Party after the race.
